A You'll never have to hear the word "no" If you keep all your friends on the payroll F#m The non-disclosure pages signed Your secret's safe between those lines The scaffolding will cheer and console you But remember what your mother told you That good help is so hard to find For people who are so refined Bm You're trying to turn into the skid D E In this never-ending grid Chorus: F#m E D A There's a long, slow fade F#m E D A To a darkened stage F#m E D A And I hear you say F#m E D A "Only a fool gives it away" Bm Only a fool would give D Only a fool gives it away You said you wanna stake out your claim High above the city from where you came Don't you know the air's so thin? It starves the brain of oxygen I know it's such a dangerous place For there are more ascensions than there is space Angels causing accidents The camera phones'll document But if I start to levitate Pull me down with all your weight Chorus Bm You're trying to turn into the skid F#m In this never-ending grid Bm But you should know it's not ideal D E All those hands upon the wheel Chorus: There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool would give Only a fool gives this away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E F#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
